Everyone should have heard the saying that "car air conditioners can cause cancer." It mainly means that under direct sunlight, toxic gases will be emitted from the inside of the car. If not removed in time, long-term inhalation of the gases by the human body will cause cancer. Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, it is certain that new cars have a pungent smell, which is bound to cause harm to the human body. How to remove these odors is something every new car owner must know.
1. Opening multiple doors and windows for ventilation can allow the poisonous gas to escape naturally
When car owners use their cars for daily use, especially new cars, they should make a habit of opening the doors and windows before driving to let the circulating air dilute and disperse the toxic gases in the car. Also try to open as many windows as possible while driving to let the wind blow away the poisonous gases in the car. It can also help the new car quickly get rid of the odor.
2. Place activated carbon in the car
Activated carbon has abundant capillaries, and these capillaries have strong adsorption properties. When toxic gases in the air come into contact with activated carbon, they will be adsorbed to these capillaries and purify the air. At present, the application of activated carbon has been very complete, and it is recommended that car owners place activated carbon bags in the car. After all, it does not occupy space, is not harmful, and the outer packaging is beautiful. When placed in the car, it can silently provide you with clean air for a long time.
3. Remove odor from fruits and vegetables (cannot be disinfected)
You should be familiar with deodorizing fruits and vegetables. According to the editor's research, lemons, pineapples, tropical fruits, oranges, and onions can all be used. They can be placed whole or sliced. This method is simple and easy to operate, low-carbon and environmentally friendly, and is very suitable for car owners who love to do it themselves. However, it should be noted that these peels need to be replaced regularly and promptly when placed in the car to prevent the fruits and vegetables from spoiling in the long-term closed environment in the car. Some car owners should try to avoid placing intact fruits directly on the center console or next to the windshield when placing them in the car to avoid potential harm while driving.
I need to remind everyone here: Perfume and spraying air freshener can only cover the odor and have no disinfection effect.
Perfumes and air fresheners also use their own fragrance to neutralize or cover odors in the car. It has no effect in removing toxic gases.
4. Placing edible vinegar can sterilize and disinfect but cannot remove poisonous gases.
Vinegar releases slightly acidic substances that can destroy the cell walls of bacteria and kill them. Therefore, placing vinegar in the car can sterilize and disinfect it, but it cannot remove poisonous gases. In addition, the effect of simply placing it is not great. The sterilization effect can only be obvious when it is evaporated through an air humidifier.
5. Go to a professional maintenance shop to make a photocatalyst to remove toxic gases
Photocatalyst is a nano-scale metal oxide material. It is coated on the surface of the substrate and produces strong catalytic degradation function under the action of light: it can effectively degrade toxic and harmful gases in the air; it can effectively kill a variety of bacteria. It can decompose and harmlessly treat toxins released by bacteria or fungi; it also has deodorizing and anti-fouling functions.
The cost of a photocatalyst repair is between $100-200. Car owners with financial resources may consider doing this maintenance regularly.
6. Install a car air purifier to decompose toxic gases
Air purifiers are by far the most effective way to purify air. The principles also vary according to different technologies. At present, there are mainly technologies such as plasma, negative ions, negative oxygen ions, and adsorption. The price of car air purifiers ranges from tens to hundreds. You can buy it according to your own needs. When purchasing, pay attention to its clean air output ratio. The greater the clean air output ratio, the higher the purification efficiency of the purifier.
7. Clean the air conditioner regularly to prevent the growth of bacteria and poisonous gases.
Air conditioners are very prone to breed various bacteria and viruses due to seasonal changes and the influence of atmospheric environment. If the air conditioning filter is not cleaned and replaced regularly, it will release toxic or germ-containing gases. If the human body absorbs it, it is easy to get sick.
8. Apply high-quality insulation film to prevent high temperature from exacerbating the car interior decoration and releasing poisonous gases.
Applying high-quality thermal insulation film to the vehicle will not only make the riding environment more comfortable, but also effectively prevent infrared rays from entering the vehicle and exacerbating items in the vehicle to release toxic gases.
Summary
Odors in cars can easily attract people’s attention, but many poisonous gases are colorless and odorless and are invisible killers of our health. Using perfume, air freshener, etc. to cover up the odor in your car is not an act of self-deception. For the health of themselves and their families, it is recommended that car owners adopt correct and effective methods to remove odors and poisonous gases from the car.
